    When I was younger I thought that thinking deeply was all there was to Fiona. As I get older I appreciate how deeply everything she writes is FELT. I think most people lack in one of those areas if they are deep in another, but not her.

      She can put together a good pop song, but let's face it, she's crazy. Actually crazy.

      @@monkeyattackedmyass5435 attaining popularity and making pop music are not the same thing at all. You said she writes good pop songs. How rude of you to imply this musical genius should be chalked up to her one real top40/ALT-ROCK hit and also dismissed because she is a thinker that sees through a lot of bullshit and speaks her mind.

    I find the criminal video interesting in that Fiona's character looks submissive and meek, yet calculated. However, from the interviews I've seen of Fiona, she is totally not like that at all. I feel like any sort of backlash from that video was because people allowed themselves to be fooled by her character. I think that is what she is saying here. People don't critisize actors for playing a role that's different from who they are because that's their job. I don't understand why people would put music videos to a higher standard of staying true to the artist's character. Music videos can be just as charming and unrealistic as movies.
    Btw, why the hell does this video have more dislikes? Where are my fellow Fiona fans? XD

      HAHAHAHA omg I know the interview is 20 years old (give or take) but MTV is posting the interview NOW. It takes FOR FOREVER for Fiona to make albums so I am hoping (probably not true but hoping) that MTV may be posting this as a hint?!?! They are less focused on music nowadays but a person can dream.

    While I agree with Fiona’s POV, it remains a very good song. The Tidal album is phenomenal. All her work is. I am surprised to see this come up after so many years of her distancing herself from it. For whatever reason, it shows up in my feed often. Anyone who knows anything about Fiona Apple knows that she is the antithesis of the character in the Criminal video…

    • @davecarsley8773
      @davecarsley8773 2 роки тому

      Yeah... because you totally "know" Fiona Apple.
      There's nothing more creepy than people thinking they "know" what kind of person a celebrity is (i.e. a perfect stranger whom they know nothing about). It's the most narcissistic western behavior I can think of, and it's so pervasive these days.

    The way the click bait title is phased has little to do with what Fiona is expressing.

      ​@@angeleyeszarai Maybe 2 likes because I made a halfway decent point? Yes, a woman of either age can get any... low status man. But the younger woman has the edge when chasing a Johny Depp (a prize, even at his age). And the video implies she's at a very exclusive party - young women and rich/famous guys only! I'm not judging, just saying how the world works. And I think Fiona Apple is an awesome singer/songwriter.
